Profile:
One of the many cricketers who did not get their due from the
selectors, Raman Surendranath was a tireless medium pacer, who could
swing the ball prodigously. His bowling was ideally suited to English
conditions and he was a success on the 1959 tour when he took 79
wickets in the first class games, next only to Subash Gupte's 95. He
played in all five Tests, heading the Test averages with 16 wickets
(26.62) and taking five wickets in an innings at both Old Trafford and
the Oval. He did well at home too. Against Australia in 1959-60 he
bowled both the openers McDonald and Favell. Against Pakistan in
1960-61, he was outstanding in the third Test at Calcutta, when he
used the conditions very effectively. He picked up four wickets for 93
from 46 overs in the first innings. In the next Test at Madras however
he was less successful and was promptly discarded for good. He
certainly deserved better.
Surendranath however continued to play in the Ranji Trophy till
1969. He took 178 wickets (20.67) in the national competition. In a
first class career that started in 1955, he took 284 wickets
(24.95). (Partab Ramchand)
